does that all make sense? |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 22:02 |
Jezek |
oh ok |

Aug 6th 2008, 22:02 |

*becomes |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 22:02 |
cobol |
and it because a black box to the controller's action |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 22:01 |
cobol |
you could then also easily integrate data caching in the component |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 22:01 |
cobol |
where the element handles it |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 22:01 |
cobol |
and pass it along to the view |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 22:01 |
cobol |
the application logic i would likely put in a component. the pages that use it would then call on the component to generate the data |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 22:01 |
cobol |
Jezek: no, the element is the view logic component |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 22:00 |
Jezek |
cobol, wouldn't i have to use requestaction in the element? |
| # |

prettyy sure this is the cakephp channel |

whats another site like Pandora, not last.fm, that uses the browser to delivery music |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:58 |
Jezek |
alright |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:57 |
cobol |
like for example a component, or helpers, or elements; as is appropriate for you |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:57 |
cobol |
i.e. you should find a different container for reusable application logic components for that instead of an action |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:56 |
cobol |
there are a number of ways you can do this, but requestAction is probably not what you wnat to be doign because of the weight |

well hello all |

Aug 6th 2008, 21:56 |
cobol |
or somesuch |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:56 |
cobol |
<?php echo $this->element('categorylist'); ?> |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:55 |
cobol |
an element would be a reusable piece of view logic |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:55 |
Jezek |
so i just include the copmonent in the controller? |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:55 |
Jezek |
but what if i want to use views too, like if viewing an individual category |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:54 |
cobol |
because components are designed to hold reusable application that logic that will be called upon in multiple actions |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:53 |
Jezek |
i already have a controller |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:53 |
Jezek |
wait why a component |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:53 |
cobol |
instead of view |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:53 |
cobol |
the caching could then also be data level |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:52 |
cobol |
and possibly a component to help it along |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:52 |
cobol |
element |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:51 |
Jezek |
how else would i display a list of categories on my frontpage |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:51 |
cobol |
and is insanely heavy |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:51 |
cobol |
and actually, requestAction replicates most of the request lifecycle |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:50 |
cobol |
i dont think requestAction is cache-aware |

cobol |
but i'm not actually sure. |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:48 |
cobol |
Jezek: i think those definitions are url-based, so if it's a different url... |
| # |
Aug 6th 2008, 21:48 |
Jezek |
or i guess it does work, but when i include the action on the frontpage, it runs the queries again. |

xdebug ftw |

Aug 6th 2008, 21:47 |

i recommend it to anyone |

(print_r,var_dump,etc) |

because it's so hard to debug ajax output with it |
